Innovative pyrolysis techniques

Innovative pyrolysis techniques

At Nottingham we have developed a number of innovative pyrolysis approaches that can be used in petroleum geochemistry for the characterisation of organic macromolecules (HyPy), and to further our understanding of oil and gas generation (high liquid water pressure pyrolysis).

Catalytic hydropyrolysis (HyPy)

Award winning commercial system developed at Nottingham for the characterisation of organic macromolecules

Open system pyrolysis assisted by high hydrogen pressure (150 bar) and sulphided molybdenum catalyst
